Hi Mal,your project sound very interesting.My intake and exhaust manifold are on my 29 633 coupe. The engine has run but not with the new manifolds yet. It is made to fit a couple of strombergs of flathead ford carbs, which is what I'm useing. It was not to hard to make,just some tubing and some flat plate,a drillpress jig saw and a welder.I'm not going for big horsepower( although a few more wouldn't hurt)just a 50s hotrod look.I'm planing on 35 inch radial tires and an overdrive. I'm a little confused,how could Peter Packard take 120 thou off his 533 head but others say 45 thou is the limit.Heres a few pics.
